“clever and witty adaptation by Patrick Barlow.”
“rip-roaring farce, stuffed full of physical comedy, that is impossible not to enjoy.”
“a joyous version of the Hitchcock classic…It’s the sort of play that should transfer to a small West End theatre”
“Patrick Barlow’s knowing reconstruction…wholly irreverent yet entirely affectionate, it manages to conjure the spirit of the original”
“fast-paced, resourceful and attractively tongue-in-cheek production by Maria Aitken.”
“Rupert Degas and Simon Gregor are a joy.”
“Catherine McCormack is equally winning in a trio of female roles.”
“Charles Edwards is dream casting as the suave, hint-of-the-cad Hannay.”
“this isn’t so much of a send-up of cinema as a glorious celebration of theatre.”
“hugely enjoyable show …a delightful mix of homage and parody.”
“daft and drolly amusing…the cast acquit themselves with aplomb .”
